$APEIPress releaseSep 2, 2026, 8:30 AM ETRead the release

Rasmussen University, part of American Public University System and ultimately owned by American Public Education (Nasdaq: APEI), refreshed its CCNE-accredited online RN to BSN program, adding a waiver of up to 28 general education credits for eligible active RNs and a reduced overall credit load. Enrollment is now underway with classes beginning in October. The program can be completed in as few as 12 months for eligible students, accepts up to 134 transfer credits (nearly 75% of requirements), and swaps a fixed practicum hour requirement for a flexible, project-based practicum that can often be done within a student's current work environment.
